🤝We are thrilled to have represented Società Gasdotti Italia (SGI) in its appeal before the Italian Supreme Tax Court against notices of assessment concerning the 15% registration tax levied on deeds of easement on agricultural land. The Supreme Tax Court, agreeing with our arguments, made three rulings on 2 September 2024 (rulings 23489, 23494 and 23512) which reaffirmed that the deeds concerned do not constitute a transfer of ownership but rather a concession of a right of use and are therefore subject to a 9% registration tax, as stated in Article 1 of the Tariff attached to the Presidential Decree 131/1986. Our Italy multidisciplinary team that advised SGI was led by Administrative and Regulatory Partner Giannalberto Mazzei, working closely with Tax Senior Associates Alfredo Guacci Esposito and Administrative and Regulatory Senior Associate Cesare Fossati.
